La niña

It is so good to see a series about Colombia that venerates the human spirit in the face of adversity, rather than romanticizing violence, drug trafficking, and prostitution. The best television series I have seen in a long time.

A beautiful story about a girl, based on real events, who survives against all odds. Thank you, La Nina!

This show, this Lanina. Was so good! Such a bloody good show!! It was a sad, triumphant and true story. Awful what those children had to live through. I want more of Lanina!! The acting was really really good , I went through all ranges of emotions in just one episode let alone all of them. I couldn't let go I had to watch this awesome show right to end. And I didn't want it to end , I want MORE of LANINA!!!!!! The casting people sure knew what they were doing with those actors. Hollywood got nothing on them, they play their parts so real. Love this show, Amazing!!

We mostly watch Spanish language programming because we are trying to improve our Spanish and normally we watch shows from Spain because they are of higher quality than the shows from Latin America BUT this one is great. I love the actors and actresses and especially the actresses who play Belky and Doctor Tatiana. They exude the warmth and passion of latinas and make me want to move to Colombia. There are many other very good actors in this as well, the acting is first rate.

The story is exciting and compelling. It's great how they weave Belky's past into the present and vice versa. I can't believe there are 86 episodes in one season but I look forward to watching them all.

I am a pretty serious focused career woman. I pride myself on not being distracted by TV or NetFlix crap. Well, all that is history now. From the first episode, I was hooked. I thought it would dull down but the end of each episode leaves a cliff hanger that leaves you wanting more...and more....So, I binged this series only sleeping 4 hours each night until I finished all 86 episodes.

(Now, I am ashamed to admit that I am re-watching this bloody thing. My only question is: how will I overcome this addition :-). Joking...)

La Nina has Great acting. Wonderful directing. Best TV series I have ever seen. I don't have a single complaint at all. All the characters add so much colour and texture to the show that it will blow your mind. Victor is hilarious. Betty and Nana are sweet kids. Mrs Mireya is a delightfully negative mom. The struggles of an ex-Guerrilla, Belky is wonderfully acted by Ana Maria Estupinan. Oh, and Belky and Manuel's love story is epic.

So. Yeah. Enjoy this. Savour it. it is wonderful.

I am a busy career mom so between work, kids and home stuff I don't have a lot of time to watch TV but I was so captivated by this series that I couldn't stop. I literally stayed up until the early morning trying to get as many episodes watched as I could. I rooted for Belky as she had to overcome so many challenges. I cried as I learned about her history and past. I rejoiced every time she got back together with Manuel.

I was even more taken aback knowing that many of this was based on true stories. From a political perspective I didn't really understand the barriers and issues in reintegration besides an NPR segment I listened to in the car. This video helped me to understand a little bit more.

I recommend this show TO EVERYONE I know. I hope it receives a foreign film award because it deserves it!
